Prepayment Funding for Special Rate Carrier Voice Termination

Carrier voice bilateral agreements define direct, negotiated routes for international voice traffic. These contracts set pricing, volumes, SLAs, and term commitments, allowing operators to control quality and profitability without relying solely on hubs or transit.

Swap deals and special rate agreements are common in wholesale voice. Carriers exchange traffic commitments to unlock better rates, then monetize excess or discounted capacity by selling termination to downstream customers, often with prepayment commitments to secure volume and reduce risk.

These structures enable cost savings and predictable margin planning, while allowing carriers to expand coverage and maintain service quality across high-volume routes.
